I started reading the New Testament today and I must say, the verse where a widow is giving the little money she has to whereas rich people are giving their "excess", was very moving. Don't get me wrong they both gave money and it's very commendable but there just is beauty in that verse..; I don't know how to describe it, it really resonated with me.

The dumb social unrest in the US really bothers me. People are hellbent on interpreting everything in an all or nothing, us versus them tribalistic sense. It's all misplaced too. If there should be any factions it should be the populace versus the oligarchs. These protests and riots are a sideshow to distract a mesmerized society while a few dozen men collect hundreds of billions of dollars and wield total power.
We're divided along imaginary party lines and superficial identity categories. It feels like we're going to war over nothing. This is picture perfect divide and conquer strategy.
Worst of all, I feel like I'm one of the few people who sees what's actually happening. It's crushingly alienating as I see the swelling monstrosity of ignorance grow in momentum every day. I'm seeing it unfold as I predicted and it drives me mad that there's nothing I can do about it. Fuck this country.

A good corollary to 'go with the flow' is 'stop and smell the roses.' Another reminder to slow the mind, enjoy the moment, and appreciate the world's beauty. There's a pleasure with no name in watching plants be plants, animals be animals, the heavens revolving around it all. Calm observation makes perfect appreciation.

This dilemma is a bit difficult, and I cannot take on both because I intend to become fluent in one prior to moving to the other.

This reminded me of when the governor of Virginia had a scandal after people discovered pictures of him in blackface from college. There was a lot of outrage and people called on him to resign. I remember seeing a poll of whether he should resign or not. The majority of whites said he should, but only a tiny percentage (somewhere in the teens) of blacks said the same. POC didn't give a shit. The real problem behind these faux scandals are progressive whites. Thanks to social media they have become self-appointed benefactors of racial justice when in fact they are only inventing racism where it doesn't exist and dragging us all down into meaningless self-invented scandals.

The sad part is, there has been people in the past who've called out in these progressive whites or progressive people (at this point they're getting more consolidated thanks to social media) decades back as well (especially in things like post colonial studies). It's also kinda funny how they accuse others of being racist and then act as a hero to protect people from said racist like as if foreigners need to be smothered and protected but never understood. Not understanding how patronising it is. If the 'poc' dares to think and act that doesn't align with their views, they became just as vitriol as the enemies they are fighting against.

I think to truly conquer myself I need to accept that I dont need sex in order to be happy, Im not sure where this brainwashing came from but I realized everything I did was for women or sex, Working out, studying/working in general to get money, browsing instagram for hours on end following them in the hopes they follow me back, making profiles on tinder and badoo not with serious intentions but just to see my options. The validation from that last one got really addicting. I never truly stepped back to love myself which i feel like im doing now, when before i was fueled by willpower and self hatred, this time i feel different and at peace. I think this realization came after actually talking to several women online for longer than a week, i never interacted with any in high school and kept quiet all the time, but i went on no fap for 3 months and got really horny, took some good pictures and actually talked to them, and I realized that they arent that special, when previously I think i put them on a pedestal. As for orgasms thats just conquering basic pleasure habits, Its almost kind of freeing to not care as much as before. I feel motivated again but im not sure why, maybe its the stattera I started, maybe its starting no fap again, maybe its reading meditations, maybe since im productive again, maybe from reading the bible? Maybe adopting stoicism. Whatever the case It feels nice to take each day by day with no pressure to get things done, its not the end of the world If i miss a workout, or if i cant leave my city, life can still be enjoyed regardless.

Hindu mythology is fascinating. According to Hindu cosmology at a certain point in the cosmic cycle mankind becomes disobedient and scornful of its role in the order of things. Humanity engages in sin and cruelty and selfishness. Certain powerful demons (which control the grotesque emotions and passions which have enslaved humanity) have taken root in the world. Thus the gods summon Kali, a horrific avatar of destruction. Who is incidentally the wife and other half of Shiva, whose god essence expressed the forces of creation and positivity. Kali proceeds to wreak having upon the world, killing mortals and the demons that enslaved them with abandon. Ultimately, however, Shiva decides she is going too far, and decides to stop her once the quantity of retributive destruction has been fulfilled. He transforms himself into a "block of wood" which blocks Kali's path and is the only object in the world she can't destroy at will. She then realizes this piece of wood is her husband, the force of creation, and stops her cosmic genocide.

>> No.16261879

>>16261873
The gods here by the way are limited in their powers and are only playing part of a role. They themselves are unable to stop Kali besides Shiva, her husband, which relates back to the whole creation and destruction circle archetype. Shiva and Kali are both aspects of a plane of mortality and only that mortal existence can reconcile itself. The higher forces of the gods can only set the initial process in motion.

>Jesus said that it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
A decision isn't really a decision if you aren't losing anything in making it. This is why rich people cannot go to heaven. People will say But Abraham But David, but that's the point. Unless you become God's pet project for Biblical parables, and are an active part of miracles, you just aren't gonna make it. The real problem is: the effectiveness with which you can help the poor is totally a function of how much money you have. So if your real intention is making it into the kingdom of God: the longer you wait, the better you can help the poor because wealth accelerates. But one of the many doorstops is that nobody really believes they will die, or rather, expects their mortal coil to be shed anytime soon, which is why they believe in the first place. Even if you have the best intentions, you've already loaded the function greedily against maximizing the effectiveness of your philanthropy. You have failed the poor by virtue of being rich. You wait as long as possible, and then when you die, you just say: haha, aw damnit, I waited too long! Congrats, you've booked a first-class ticket straight to the 4th circle.

Fascinatingly, there is another being in Hindu mythology called Kali. This is demon at the center of the period of the cosmic cycle called the Kali Yuga. In which strife is the dominant aspect in the karmic universe. The mass of people not only did harm but intended harm, and thus brought Kali's wrath upon both them and the demons (Asuras) which vied for power and domination over the gods through them.
This Kali, although considered separately from the canon of the godess Kali, shares strong similarities. And this is because in the hindu trinity Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma stood on equal footing. Vishnu's final incarnation is the same Kali as his counterpart Shiva's wife, Kali, though they differ in their outward properties with Vishnu's Kali being a beastial masculine element hungering for blood and death and Kali being a more morally righteous element.

The problem is that intelligence has so many layers that, to the average person, you probably look like a genius. I'm the same way. I'm from the Midwest and compared to any of them I'm literally 2 standard deviations above. My brain is clocking at twice the rate, I'm what they think AI will be. If my voice came from the sky they would think it God. But the reality is that I, and probably you, are so ridiculously far removed from people that are actually deserving of being called intelligent. People that these normal idiots can't even see as existing because there's no communicative channel between layers of intelligence that far apart. We can see, though, because we sit in a smack-dab middle stratum that allows us to look above and below without squinting too hard. Because I, ostensibly we, understand these people we can appropriate our vectors accordingly and assume a similar pretense of intelligence. To the total idiot, we may actually seem MORE intelligent, because the total idiot disregards what it doesn't understand. To the total idiot, real intelligence looks like incredibly warped spacetime, light just curves around it, intellectual gravitational lensing. It sucks, but at the same time, it's kind of nice, being able to see and understand both above and below. Being a midwit has its advantages in that regard

I've noticed that I have really bad "idea guy" syndrome in my writing. Whenever inspiration strikes me, it's usually in the form of a raw concept or moment between characters, but when I sit down to write down a story I find myself losing motivation between points interest. This is severely compounded if I have to go back and do any major editing because my words stop feeling like they've been born in a single moment and everything becomes a tangled mess until I reach the next stable draft.

The best way I've found to counter this, aside from just biting the bullet and powering through it, is to write narratives that have back to back moments of personal interest to me, or at the very least follow a consistent mood or theme that comes naturally to me.

You can learn both. You can also pick up Catalan easier with both. Also, there's no point at which you stop learning a language. There are always new words and contexts to learn, so waiting until you're fluent doesn't really happen.

Night leads its starry chariot in its round,

war is my state, filled with grief and anger,
and only in thinking of her do I find peace.

So from one pure living fountain

and so that my ordeal may not reach haven,
I am born and die a thousand times a day,
I am so far from my salvation.

They're basically bullies who have identified a subculture which is easy to take over. One of the reasons it's easy to take over is because they know that the group is already marginalized. The same thing happens with LGTB and feminism but also right wing groups- the implication of being outside the group is that you lose all its protection, in much the same way that abusive relationship are maintained - I might beat you, but if you leave me, not only will I beat you harder but others won't believe you or support you and you will be a known whore, so choose the frying pan over the fire.

thinking years of mental illness might have turned me into a fag. not a gay fag, just a weak person, self-centered and whiny. I want to blame someone but there's no one really. at 29 feeling doubt as to whether or not I'll become a viable person. I think one of the reasons my mental health issues started is I was pretty damn alone, even though there was family around me. To this day.. I'm ashamed to say, but I don't feel a lot around my family. I don't feel a lot around them at all. I guess when I learned to cope with the world they were not a part of that. I'm like that with people in general. I don't really try to forge real bonds, I want to stay at a middling distance. I have a romantic view of "community" but no real inclination. Loneliness is an ever present threat.

I guess what I'm saying is: I feel very strongly that I am maladjusted to human life. this is probably one of the most normal human feelings.

Another thing I've thought recently is it's fairly likely that I will never have sex again. My life-plan has been about taking my broken background and trying to scrape together a life where I could be a viable father. But if I'm honest that probably will not happen, though God knows best. If I am not trying for that, then I gotta wonder what to do with my life. The whole idea of establishing financial stability is so that I can be a father. Without that who knows what the fuck I'm doing. To explain: I'd probably be financially viable at 32 at the earliest, which would mark the 10 year anniversary of my last sexual encounter, and I am fucking weird around women after having spent years and years in a mental health incubator. I dunno it's just sometihng I've been thinking lately.

Correction, when I was drunkposting last night about Hindu mythology, the demon Kali is not the 10th and final avatar of Vishnu, who is Kalki. You can understand why I mixed it up.

Anyway, there is an aura of awe around hindo mythology that blows other pagan religions out of the water. It combines deep philosophical concepts and each God is a representation of some facet of the cosmos. It's not like Greek or Norse mythology which strikes me as shallower.

There is an intriguing scene in the Bhagavata Purana in which an Emperor was setting off to battle the evils of the world. On his journey he encountered a sudra (a type of supernatural being) with a club abusing a sacred cow. This cow was no typical bovine, however, it was the embodiment of the Dharma, the cycle of being and moral order of the universe, and the sudra was none other than the demon Kali, the great gambler and lord of sin. Kali had smashed three of the cows legs, austerity, cleanliness, mercy" yet only truthfulness remained. Thus, he advanced his aims to destroy the moral order of the world and create his reign of evil. Yet he could not destroy truthfulness, despite his corrupting influence of the other virtues. And thus truth remained even in a time of great evil, holding up the world.

The emperor, who was powerful, raised his sword to strike down Kali. But Kali begged him to spare his life and used his powers of deception. The emperor decreed that Kali would be spared, on condition that he remained confined to gambling houses, in taverns, in women and men of unchaste lives, in slaughtering places and in gold.
Thus the Lord of Vice was contained to these domains of unclean habits and motives.
When the emperor died of a snakebite, Kali broke his oath and contract and proceeded to spread about the world eagerly, promoting decadence and ushering in the Kali Yuga.

is there an idea that this fulfills the machinations of a main God (Vishnu or someone)? been listening to the Silmarillion before bedtime lately, it's pretty neat there that it's clear that what the lesser gods are doing is part of a greater machination of Illu-Battar, even the evil, but they can not see it even though he has told them.

In another version of the tale, when the emperor decrees that Kali may only be confined to gold, Kali manipulates this rule by entering into the emperor's golden crown. Thus Kali entered into the thoughts of the emperor, corrupting his empire from within, and leading ultimately to the emperor's death.

Kali was created from incestuous monsters that spawned on the back of the All-Being, Brahma. Brahma intended Kali to be a force of corrosion and change, to allow the cosmic cycle (kalpa) to proceed to the next stage.
Ultimately however, two thirds through this stage, Vishnu intervenes by incarnating into his 10th and final avatar, Kalkli. Kalkli grows up as a regular mortal but is trained by the Vishnu's 6th avatar, Parashurama, to become skilled in martial arts and warfare to ultimately do battle with Kali and end the Kali Yuga.

By this time Kali had had many foul offspring who became his minions , and his forces are bolstered by many evil kings and their armies.

Kali's forces are ultimately defeated by Kalkli and his generals, and in the final battle between the two, Kalkli is aided by the Dharma itself and the Satya Yuga, the Age of Truth itself. Kali is routed, his chariot shattered and his war banner trampled. He flees humiliated on a donkey , a symbol of lowliness. His wounds however prove fatal, and he either dies, or enters his "unmanifested years." Meaning that he enters a dimensional rift and continues to the next kalpa in the next universe, to continue the cycle for eternity.

This other post answers your question. Vishnu's ultimate purpose--although he has many-- is to vanquish Kali and reset the cosmic cycle. He does this by fragmenting his aspects into several avatars over the aeons. His 6th and 10th and final avatar ultimately collaborate in overthrowing Kali's reign of terror.

Humans need connection and intimacy to not feel like something‘s wrong. The issue is that there are almost no people worth connecting with or being intimate with. It‘s a fucking tragedy. Best you can do is find a person half worth it and help them become someone actually worth spending time with. It will never be the same though since what you‘re looking for is someone to help you grow and the tactic i presented might at best result in someone not weighting you down.

Screens screens screens. Look at a screen at work and then come home and look at a fucking screen, go to sleep looking at a screen and then start the process over again. People are so alienated now. Do people even go out anymore? Go to bars and shit? The days of the totally social normie are dead. I miss normies. No I don't want to look at memes, let's talk about the weather or something. No I don't want to discuss politics, can't we talk about your children? Maybe what you had for dinner? I actually find myself wishing people would put down their phones so they could watch TV with me, I desperately want people to put down a screen so they can look at another screen that's how bad it's gotten. Zoomers aren't even human anymore, the level of over-stimulation their brains have received from birth has totally scrambled their minds. The boomers are right about everything, they fucked it all up but they're right. The internet will be the death of society. Normies have been using it for roughly a decade and already everyone's gone completely insane. Why was I born now? I see people in abject poverty but they're happy because they have a community and a family. You can't be happy without community and family, the two things which died in the last few decades. Wooo, I love being a lonely wageslave, this is the fucking life. This is truly the peak of human civilisation. I'm so glad the industrial revolution happened because now everything is better! Oh yeah, Tinder is a monstrosity and needs to die immediately.

I'm all alone inside my skull. It's okay though. So is everyone else. That makes me feel a little bit better. But not a lot though. I'm still alone. I need to connect with the others who are also alone, so I can feel less alone. But I feel different from everyone else. I am a void. I feel nothing. I have conversations but I'm not really there. I smile when I am supposed to smile. I understand your pain. But I do not connect to it. I will laugh along on queue. I will ask the right questions. But am I just not there. I am elsewhere. I'm playing along. I just don't want to be found out. That's what I fear. And also what I crave. Because then someone would really see me. And that would feel like connection. The thing is, though, I know I'm not different. I'm the same as everyone else. It's just my thoughts about my thoughts which makes me feel different. And I feel very trapped. And the fact that I'm not different makes the feeling that I'm different harder to process within myself. I can't accept it and it makes me angry. I really want to feel like everyone else. I want to connect with others. And I also want to be alone. I crave being completely alone in the universe. At least that would validate how I feel within myself. I see no reason to connect with others because it often just alienates me more. It reinforces my aloneness. I'm not sure I care that much either way. I just want to get through this life without killing myself. That will be my victory. HA. You fuckers. I did it. I didn't kill myself. I'm looking forward to that moment.

They forced him into the passenger seat of the yellow taxicab next to an African American female driver. The two men got into the back giving him little mind. The woman started talking moved the vehicle along the busy street. Not listening to what she was saying he looked around wide eyed trying to make sense of recent events. The womans shrill voice got louder as he tried to focus on the road. Facing him she spoke louder and louder until he reluctantly turned to face her. Fully fixated on him speaking near gibberish he quickly turned away. A burning smell overcame him. Smoke. Maybe something to do with the engine or something but he could not concentrate with the woman shouting. She was speeding up. He glanced towards her and noticed smoke coming from the back of her head. Her curly hair was smoking. Doubtfully he turned away and weighed up his reality. Trying to resist the urge confirm his worry the smell got stronger and the heat intensified. Flames engulfed her entire head fully locked on him as she spoke louder and drove faster and gave no attention to the traffic in front. Eyes darting around the cab the two men stayed fixated on the road ahead.
Your head is on fire
The woman got even louder still and faster and swerved the car numerous times not looking at the road once.
Your head is on fucking fire
Smoke was filling the cab now and the smell of burnt hair and flesh was overwhelming.

She drove faster still and ploughed into a cyclist sending them flying over the bonnet.
Looking back into the street he could see no sign of the unfortunate person but quickly turned back to the driver whos skin was now falling off in black charred chunks with the roof starting to catch ablaze as well.
LISTEN YOU FUCKING NIGGER, YOUR HEAD IS ON FUCKING FIRE!
The men in the back immediately shot their gaze at him and the woman stopped talking with an angry look on her face. Her face was back to normal. No smoke filled the cab and no ceiling was ablaze. The speed was normal. The scratches from the bicycle vanished.

I think I realized the greatness of "do unto others" yesterday. like you I too tend to overthink social exchanges, and I become an unfeeling, disconnected robot. I figure the reason why is because I looked at social situations as problems to be optimised or solved. the thing is though if you think about, if you were the other person in this exchange, what would you want? In most situations you find that what you would want is for the other person to be basically chill, and anything beyond that is bonus. the problem of the problem with social interactions is that there is no problem, it's the simplest thing in the world. just imagine what kind of exchange is this, what is appropriate, and do that.

I used to be a dweeb and still am but I've learned to consciously "ride the vibe" in social settings. And it operates like a fucking meme. This also lets us know the world is fucking full of idiots. I used to think people always knew more than me but they just play it off the bat. That's why societies that create expectations have a harder time thinking critically. They become accustomed to the repeating memes for comfort from the unknown. They become ignorant to the outside world that carries with it threats to the society's established expectations.
For example, you go about your day and you get in a conversation with a woman you kinda know. A few things are said and some things are taken as flirtatious. What would need to be the case for the interaction to be flirtatious? Both have to be sexually interested in the other (for the back and forth to be reaffirmed) and both have to take boring mundane everyday conversation you would have with say a co-worker and turn that conversation into an ancient call to bone. The emergence of sexual tension is evolutionary and the sexual passage through flirtation is aesthetics. Something from both parties edged the meaning of words more and more towards and ambiguity that strips both off social pretension and raw sexuality.
The thing with me is that I'm a legitimate idiot. I once flirted with a gay guy and got into a date without realizing it. I only realized a couple days later. It's rare, but now in the moment I can replay the moments that get a woman flustered. I'm flirting with one now and it's in the really early stages but it's has already moved on predictably. This time it feels like I have greater autonomy in the thing but in part because I've learned to take some things as inherently dangerous and unknowable. Rather than get into the analysis paralysis of the situation you pick whatever option first on a whim and see where it takes you and then when the trips is over, learn the lessons.

all glory is to God. every truly good thing that has happened in my life is the result of answered prayer. and so now I must glorify God, lest I would become ungrateful.

psalm 86:11-13
Teach me your way, Lord,
that I may rely on your faithfulness;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.
I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name forever.
For great is your love toward me;
you have delivered me from the depths,
from the realm of the dead.

I was initially gonna enroll in college this semester to study philosophy, but after reading all this shit about online classes and whatnot I'm not so sure anymore. College isn't expensive here, but I'd have to move to Frankfurt for college, which means that I'll have to pay my own rent, work a wagie job and do all the chores myself just to get in a zoom class. Should I wait for another one or two semesters until it's presumably back to normal again?
The thing is that I'm 20 y/o and it's already been a year and a half since I dropped out of my old college, since then I've been a part-time neet and a wagie. I'd feel a bit ashamed to wait another year desu, especially since my dad just told me today how proud he is of me for pursuing a goal instead of sitting on my ass like my brother.

Ok so here we this is why you don’t try to balance 5 consoomer hobbies at a time So I started watching this manga called Teppuu because some anon recommended it to me on a ryona thread because it’s about a girl who gets into MMA and I have a fetish for girls beating each other up, wether it’s boxing, wrestling MMA anything is good. So I read the first 5 chapters and it starts off decent, the art is a little on he weak side and it’s not very fanservicey as I hoped but oh well I’ll stick with it then I watched like 3 eps of this wackass show boogie pop phantom because people always say it’s similar to Lain and I love Lain and it’s weird af like you can’t even understand this shit but from what I could understand it’s about these mutants that represent the next step in human evolution that started appearing in Tokyo after a beat of light game out of a high school so there’s the guy who eats emotions in the form of bugs the girl who makes people remember their past with butterflies and there’s boogiepop who’s a shinigami who kills the mutants and it’s weird and cool like Lain urban fantasy but hard to understand then there’s Dark on Netflix it’s honestly the only half decent Netflix original out there it’s pretty interesting with good music and plot twists but the acting gets iffy at times the special effects are very unconvincing fortunately they use them sparingly and the plot in the 3rd season is getting convoluted then there’s the movie Wild Strawberries by Ingmar Bergman same guy that did The Seventh Seal with the game of chess with Death and I saw it about halfway it’s about this old guy who reminisces about his guy and how he wanted to fuck his housing but she married his brother it’s pretty good haven’t finished it yet and THEN there’s Lord of the Flies I’m reading up to chapter 5 so far it’s just been descriptions of the naked body of Ralph the little boys pooping diarrea and they make a fire but it goes out and the boat doesn’t see them my point is that when you are juggling so much information it the same time it fries your brain and messes up your thought patterns and yeah I know I sound like a consoomer bugman but my life is so fucking empty man I just got banned from al board for posting nazi porn Jesus Christ I’m 22 years old what am I doing with my life lol I need to live vicariously because I can’t fulfill my power process in industrial society

>Human services is an interdisciplinary field of study with the objective of meeting human needs through an applied knowledge base, focusing on prevention as well as remediation of problems, and maintaining a commitment to improving the overall quality of life of service populations. The process involves the study of social technologies (practice methods, models, and theories), service technologies (programs, organizations, and systems), and scientific innovations designed to ameliorate problems and enhance the quality of life of individuals, families and communities to improve the delivery of service with better coordination, accessibility and accountability.

A guy killed himself live on stream and it's hard for me to remember that it means nothing when people mock him or make light of it. I know that someone's essential dignity has to do with their soul and not with whether they are the unlucky person who was turned into a meme gif on 4chan for a week. If dignity were that fragile, nothing would matter anyway because the world would be a joke.

But it still hurts me that I can't protect him from it. It doesn't feel fair that I can't somehow transfer my desire to protect people from things like that to them. It just sits inside me, wells up, then has to fizzle out over time or get buried somewhere, while the world continues to be an ugly irrational place. Goodness should naturally create more goodness, or create a natural forcefield around itself, or something. Instead goodness is so rare and fragile, and it can be smashed or swept aside by meaninglessness so easily.

I know on some level that there has to be more to it than this, but all my cynical instincts torment me with the thought that this really is just a badly designed system, that goodness takes a thousand years to build up and then it can all be eroded or undermined by one moment of laxity, one moment of humanity's real ugliness shining through.

The feeling you get when you look at some smiling kid's photograph and know he's going to kill himself some day and you can't protect him or his mother or the other thousands of people going through the same things right now is just too much sometimes. All that desire and it means nothing. The whole world is just a big ugly meatgrinder for breaking the hearts of moms.

This Be The Worst
By Adrian Mitchell
(After hearing that some sweet innocent thought that Philip Larkin had written "they tuck you up, your Mum and Dad")

They tuck you up, your Mum and Dad
They read you Peter Rabbit, too.
They give you all the treats they had
And add some extra, just for you.

They were tucked up when they were small,
(Pink perfume, blue tobacco-smoke),
By those whose kiss healed any fall,
Whose laughter doubled any joke.

Man hands on happiness to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
So love your parents all you can
And have some cheerful kids yourself.

I know of which suicide you refer. First off you should remind yourselves that people mock and make fun of things as a coping mechanism. Dark humor is based on that reaction. Second of all, committing suicide in a life stream is a dishonorable and shameful act, and infinitely more so to do it in front of friends and family who were trying to talk sense into you. He might as well have committed mass murder, in terms of the emotional damage he wrought. If you livestream something, you must accept the consequences. Human empathy is a limited thing, and it is normally reserved for whoever falls within your circle. And it's not as if this mockery means anything in the scheme of things. Would it be better for others if this asshole's horrible conduct spread psychic damage further, beyond just his friends and family? There is a layer of hell reserved for such people.

Been part of a pretty small discord group for a few months.

Know everyone there by name and voice, know their life stories, and real life locations of most. Went through a lot of big life changes with them. Lots of mutual advice, and honest conversations

Banned today with no warning, and no one I contact replies.

literally don't have anyone to talk to, that I don't work for, or pay to be around. No one to share things with.

I grew up in a really tight knit religious community, and had to leave because I found that one of the leaders was spying on me and secretly trying to get me to incriminate myself.

90% of the people I knew stopped talking to me. I have 29 aunts and uncles and dozens of cousins, not to mention everyone I grew up with, family friends, classmates, coworkers. Only three contacted me after I left the church.

Did most of my socialization online because of COVID, best friend ghosted me. We knew each others real life names and addresses, and were going to meet up. Ghosted

found that discord group. ghosted

now i literally don't have anyone to talk to except anons on 4chan, my boss on skype, and my landlord.

im only 24, and i'm ready to be done. not having kids, missed out on a career because i was fundie homeschooled, never had gf/bf, or anyone who really cared about me. even my mom doesn't talk much to me anymore, said the only reason i exist is to show off god's wrath and test her faith.

c's pronunciation should be changed from see to six, and b's pronunciation should be changed from bee to twenty. So when you say "abc," a common shorthand of the full alphabet, it sounds like "a twenty six." This way you can immediately know the Latin alphabet consists of a set of twenty six letters.

Actually yeah. I mean you could argue it's better to not kill yourself at all, but if you absolutely feel a need to do it, then do it discreetly and without flair. And I don't mean killing yourself in the sense of euthanasia, if you're going to die anyway by all means do it in a way that comes to terms emotionally and meaningfully with those you care about. I'm talking about you just can't bear to live because your hatred of life has reached a searing boiling point.

Then yes, kill yourself alone, leave a note or recording explaining your reasons, and go off into the the woods and watch your final sunset before doing it. That's how to renounce your life honorably.

It's no secret to me that I am addicted, horribly dependant, on thinking. I don't know exactly how this started, but as I grew older, I began to live more and more in my head than in reality. And how could you blame me? In the infinitude of the cortex, there are no limits, no rules; you can be anything or anybody you want to be. A king one second and a gangster the next.

Perhaps then, my addiction to videogames was actually the consciousness' attempt to find real world attachment to reside within- but that's a thought for another time.

As I lived more and more in my head, and relegated complete control of my body over to the subconscious, two things happened. Firstly, my very own subconscious began to resent me in its isolation. The two spheres of consciousness separated over time, and I lost any sense of self. I look at my body these days like a disgusting stranger- it's not mine, this body built more through neglect than any conscious effort. This I feel is also the reason for my fascination when looking at the mirror- I ask myself, is that me? And cannot truthfully say yes. My real self has always dwelt in my head, so my current body is not my own, just stale clay.

The second more horrifying effect of the separation of body and mind was that I've lost touch with all feeling, and now when I do feel its because this tsunami has risen up from the deep subconscious to drown me, and I am momentarily at its mercy. The regular ups and downs still exist, but so distantly.

In the past month or so, the subconscious made me aware that until now, the dreamworld that I've lived in my entire life was not real, and therefore, neither am I. What I do feel right now is a restless desire to prove once more that I exist, and so to bring my mind back into the present.

Meditation is so interesting to me since I would describe it as a brief recombination of the conscious and subconscious, and its funny that my conscious seems to resist it with every ounce of its being, desperately trying to return back to its non-reality.

>all this cowardice and just going along the path of least resistance
>there are fags here insecure about being the least different from the norm

Instead of living, you want to avoid death and suffering, and you arrive at the foolish understanding that this is life. What the fuck is even the reason for why you are alive? To do what is expected of you?
Everyone in here always pretends to be such a contrarian and counter-culture, that they are somehow above society - but at the end of the day, you are constantly looking behind your back, as if there was somebody constantly looking at how you live and judging it. Boo-fucking-hoo, at the end of the day every single one of you wants to be an identical normie.

Have the courage to be an individual, please. Don't let culture and the environment shape you, live in your own world, by your own rules. Be shameless enough so your legs will stop shaking, and you will be able to walk.

Last night I dreamt that I was in a time loop, where violent things would happen- a path with a low wooden fence, a body of water to one side. A building at the top- things would happen, and I'd loop back randomly- I'm not really remembering things that happened, but they were violent, as they always are.

I knew, intrinsically, that other people were experiencing the same thing, but they were happening parallel to my experiences.

And then I became aware, intellectually, that everything that was happening was impossible. People couldn't go back in time. It just didn't happen. There were no such things as monsters, magic rings didn't exist, growing from the ground like weeds. Demons didn't roam the forests, people weren't trying to kill me-

and I fucking freaked out, because it was happening, it was actually happening to me, but it must be a delusion, right? How deep could a delusion go, that everything I was feeling, seeing, hearing, was wrong? How could I get out? What was I really doing? Was I living a completely different life, divorced from my body? Was I hurting people? How could I possibly escape? Did I even want to?

And then a woman in a dark red suit appeared, hands clasped, smiling at me, and told me I was a subject of a psychological study, were they put me in a VR set, with a group of army guys and other people, but when I went in, the HUD disappeared, and the guys just turned a corner and vanished by the time I caught up. I forgot I was in VR.

But there was something ominous about the woman, as if she was lying. Was she trying to trick me? How could VR do something like that?

That depends on how you're doing it. Before anything else, you should try to figure out why you do things.

For example: I would piss off all my friends because I'd insist on picking all the music and I'd get mad when they wouldn't let me. I realized it was because I'm afraid of loss of control, and that I feel helpless if I think people are denying me my ability to decide things.

Which of course, I realized came from a moment in my childhood where I was separated from my mother, and realized that no matter how much I screamed, I couldn't do anything about it.

So, to combat my behavior, I say at the beginning what songs I can't stand and then let them choose. It helped a lot

There was an old Kickstarter project I donated to known as Net Gain. One of the hidden threats in its technologically advanced setting was Synaptic Separation Syndrome, where its victims would completely lose their awareness to the physical world and effectively become veggies that forget how to breathe (and thus asphyxiate).

Then I remembered an old anime known as Re:Creators, where fictional characters appear in real life and seek out their creators.

I shudder to think about how fictional diseases conjured in flights of fancy would wreak chaos if they also "became real". Right up there with GUILT from Trauma Center and Oripathy from Arknights.

Christ is most perfect form of both Logic and the Greek Ideals. Living an ascetic lifestyle he could conceptualize the world truthfully and see true societal problems.

The past experiences of the Jews, as well as the future desires of the poor and broken-hearted were the core of his Christ Consciousness.

With that understanding he was willing to give himself to the cause through self determination, limiting himself by the cross, just as we are limited by mortality, just as we are limited to the correct procedure to solve a problem.

This is all in Plato's Republic as well.
